<p>I'm a Queer Autistic Welsh European w/ Plaid Cymru membership card. I'm trans nonbinary w/ ADHD. I struggle being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, having a gender+sexual diverse identity in a cisheteronormative world w/ entrenched gender apartheid. I'm an internationalist, progressive, liberal socialist trying to love more, hate less, forgive faster. I struggle w/ why I still believe in God. I never knew mam+dad but my heart yearns for mam's cwtch. β€οΈ <a href="https://c.im/tags/FBPE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FBPE</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DysguCymraeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DysguCymraeg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Annibyniaeth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Annibyniaeth</span></a> π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ ΏπͺπΊ</p>

I see accounts in &quot;bird makeup&quot; server. I believe they are the equivalent of the bridge for Twitter as the bridge accounts are with Bluesky? Is that correct? Are they trustworthy? Is it safe to follow accounts in that server? #twitter #Mastodon

Chills on the back of my neck. Tears in my eyes. This clip shows whole crowd at Senedd yesterday, with our new First Minister singing along - no miming - remember John Redwood in 1993! Cymru has come so far in 33 years. We deserved better. We voted for it. Cymru Am Byth! π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c7593qw4ggzo #Cymru #Senedd #PlaidCymru #CymruAmByth

What&#39;s next? For those who need a reminder, here&#39;s what Plaid Cymru have already told us Welsh Government will do in the first 100 days of their brand new first term in office. They clearly have a plan to hit the ground running. New Leadership for Wales. Arwain Cymru O&#39;r Newydd. π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ https://www.partyof.wales/100days #PlaidCymru #WelshGovernment #Senedd #NewLeadershipForWales #ArwainCymruOrNewydd #CymruAmByth

First plenary session of 7th Senedd electing Rhun ap Iorwerth as our First Minister. Beautiful new Siambr. Great speech. Historic times.

Why is it &quot;Dros Gymru&quot; rather than &quot;Dros Cymru&quot;? Is there a simply rule where the C always becomes G in certain circumstances? Or is this something more complicated I&#39;ll need to learn as I grow in understanding of the mechanics of our language? π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ #DysguCymraeg

Thought I&#39;d let you in on a little secret, I&#39;ve just signed up for email newsletters from the Welsh Government. Don&#39;t tell anyone cos they&#39;ll all want one, and then we might have an involved citizenship, and then we&#39;d have a democracy to be proud of... Where will it all end! ππ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ https://www.gov.wales/subscribe/announcements #WelshGovernment #PlaidCymru

I was blocked on Bluesky earlier today coz I said there should be a &quot;content warning&quot; facility like we have on Mastodon after someone posted the Rugby match score. I just think it&#39;s good manners when it comes to our national sport to include a spoiler warning so not to spoil someone&#39;s enjoyment if they&#39;re planning to watch later in the day. Most of us remember watching BBC Grandstand on Saturday afternoon. They used to say a disclaimer before reading o...

Hello. I&#39;ve had a terrible few weeks, then yesterday I had a grocery delivery from hell, well, from Tesco actually, but you know what I mean. Usually I open the door and trays are waiting for me at my doorstep. I have a box I unpack the trays and load up the box. They tell me if there are any substitutions, etc. They go away. I say thanks. Job well done. Literally maximum of 2-5 minutes of interaction. Yesterday, 2 delivery personnel arrived, rather than the usual 1. There was a knock o...

@caemmett Hello CAEmmett, hope you&#39;re well. Thanks for your comment. I&#39;m so sorry, I didn&#39;t mean to dismiss anybody. I&#39;m assuming you were referring to my comment that COVID is now under control? Presumably folk who are immune compromised are at greatest risk of many other medical issues not just COVID. I meant for the vast majority of the population it&#39;s under control. If governments and state medical services aren&#39;t catering to your specific nee...

Hello all. In your opinion, what&#39;s the best (least clinical) book for autism / autistic folk like us. I&#39;m perusing my local library online and there&#39;s a few so thought I&#39;d ask the community for advice. For instance, there&#39;s &quot;Autism For Dummies&quot;. That&#39;s kinda the level of book I&#39;m looking for. Nothing too technical, something non-clinical, if you get my drift. I&#39;m not buying any yet. I&#39;ll borrow and browse b...
